Only 1 month rego but it will pass no worries, it's booked in to get a pink slip.
Lots of work done on it, including the Head Gaskets two years ago, but they didn't do the rings or any of that, so the top half of the engine is running at full compression and the bottom half is still worn, and the result is it burns about 1ltr of oil to every 40ltrs of fuel!! If you are going to keep the same engine in it for any length of time, you should probably get it rebuilt.
Work includes:
In 2010: Top half of engine rebuild after my sister did the head gaskets in.
In 2011: New front King Springs, replaced front wheel bearings, carby overhaul, replaced front break rotors, got the best headlights you can get, paid $500 including install, and they are awesome! Replaced two steering rack ends and a tie-rod end (The other had already been replaced), replaced both front CV's, new tires (Only cheap ones), repaired rust in corners of drivers door.
In 2012: Replaced windscreen (It was cracked when I bought it), replaced gearbox with one of roughly the same age, but I don't think there was anything wrong with the old one, and it comes with the ute. The old one has low range, the new one doesn't. Replaced LHF strut mount, Replaced spark plugs with ones one degree hotter, so the oil doesn't foul them up so much.
There is also some other minor stuff.
When I bought it, the tray had been painted with this black stuff to prevent rust, and the interior had been carpeted with some sturdy carpet, although it got wet when the windscreen was leaking, and it didn't take it very well, got a little worn, but I've always had mud mats on the floor, and seat covers on the seats.
Cons
It runs on premium fuel, otherwise the engine pings a little.
Also there is some noise when you cruise at 80+, not sure if it is the engine, gearbox, or just something loose in the engine bay.
There is a split on the dash under the dash cover, only minor.
There is a tear on the drivers seat, and the seat squeaks a bit
Doors are sagging just that tiny bit on the hinges.
Minor dents and scratches.
Some if the interior I painted red and purple
Just depends on if you like red and purple or notComes with alloy bullbar, tonneau cover, an old UHF, and four near new 14X6 Sunnys, with Maxxis tires on them. The tires being too big, bent the gards a little after a few too many bumps, so I took them off, they have about 80% tread.
Also has wiring for spotlights all there ready to be hooked up.
All in all, it's not a bad car, will be sorry to see it go, but I have upgraded to a Forester (And it's so nice!!)
That's all I can think of right now, I'll try to get some more photos up.
Cheers
*Edit:
Needs new battery
Horn doesn't work, except sometimes at certain angles of the steering wheel, but it's easy enough to wire up a button on the dash
